Pierre et Gilles
Le Génie du Christianisme
Couvent des Minimes, Perpignan
été 2018
Cette exposition vise à présenter une série d’œuvres anciennes et inédites ayant le sacré religieux pour point commun. Se développe ainsi une imagerie pieuse mais prise au filet des poses marquées et des couleurs ultra saturées de Pierre et Gilles. La chapelle désacralisée, dont les fresques murales sont masquées en attente d’une restauration, retrouve ainsi sa vocation mystique le temps de l’exposition du duo français. Loin d’être une provocation, l’exposition montre ainsi que l’imagerie religieuse de Pierre et Gilles perçue à travers une douzaine de grands formats s’inscrit parfaitement dans un cadre traditionnel et renvoie clairement à la sensualité déjà présente dans les peintures de la renaissance.

David Lynch
Works on Paper
Chapelle du Tiers Ordre, Perpignan
été 2017
David Lynch, connu pour ses films et séries, se pense avant tout comme un artiste, un peintre surtout. Son œuvre gravé est né de la rencontre avec les mythiques ateliers ITEM à Paris. Lynch y produit des séries d’œuvres complexes, obscures et mystiques, à l’image de son univers. Ses dessins ont été exposés pour la première fois à la Fondation Cartier en 2007. Ici c’est son œuvre gravé qui est mis en lumière à travers vingt-cinq lithographies récentes. Formes abstraites, symboles, énoncés mystérieux construisent en filigrane une narration où l’inquiétude se mêle à l’ironie.
Cette exposition de David Lynch est accompagnée d’un texte inédit de Mark Alizart.

Exhibitions
Pierre and Gilles
from June 20th to July 31st, 2018
Le Génie du Christianisme
Pierre et Gilles
Couvent des Minimes' Chapel, Perpignan.
This exhibition presents a series of ancient and new works that have the sacred and religion for common points. It develops a godly imagery but catch a net of the poses marked and ultra-saturated colors of Pierre and Gilles. The desecrated chapel, whose mural frescoes are hidden, waiting for restoration, finds its mystical vocation during the exhibition of the French artist duo. Far from being a provocation, the exhibition shows the religious imagery of Pierre and Gilles that is perceived through the eyes of a dozen large formats that fit perfectly into a traditional setting and reflects with perfection the sensuality already present in the paintings of the Renaissance.
An exhibition produced by the FILAF festival in co-production with the city of Perpignan.
Curated by Numa Hambursin.

Alexandre Léger
from June 19th to July 31st, 2018
Galerie du FILAF, Perpignan
Alexandre Leger produces a work on the boundary of poetry, drawing and sculpture. Fascinated by Perec and William Blake, he finds in crosswords hidden poems that he fills, and draws all around using this technic as a starting point. In the same way, his sculptures made of pencils use processes of exhaustion of the meaning of a poetic sentence, revealing its plastic value.
Guests of Honour
Michel Auder
French director and photographer living in New York, he was influenced by the Nouvelle Vague and expérimental cinema (Jean-Luc Godard and Andy Warhol, among other). His videos capture his life in New York and at the Chelsea Hotel and in a few other legendary places, often mounted long years after the facts.

Valérie Mréjen
Juror
Former art school student, she is from the beginning interested by the various ways of expression in order to explore better language possibilities.

She realized several documentary, short films (Pork and Milk 2004, Valvert 2008) and a fictional feature film - En ville - co-realized with Bertrand Schefer and selected at the Quinzaine des réalisateurs at Cannes in 2011.

Léa Bismuth
Juror
She is a writer, art critic (especially in Artpress since 2006) and independent exhibition commissioner. Her pratique as exhibition commissioner, as a writing gesture, mixes literature and contemporary art, opening a field of experimentation. It is in this perspective that we should understand her curatorial research program that she initiated at Labanque de Béthune with thirty artists : La Traversée des Inquiétudes (according to Georges Bataille, 2016-2019). This research was accompanied by the publication of three complete supplements of Artpress dedicated to each exhibition and which will give rise to a book of collective artists under her direction (Filigranes editions, 2019). We can also quote her work for the Nouvelles Vagues of the Palais de Tokyo (Bruissements, 2013), Les Rencontres d’Arles 2017 and 2018, Les Tanneries d’Amilly (L’Éternité par les Astres, 2017) or Le BAL (Clément Cogitore/ Braguino ou la communauté impossible, 2017).
